Allow wedding receptions to go ahead following hospitality guidelines.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We are calling upon the Prime Minister to review the current guidance which says only ceremonies of 30 people can be held. If mitigation and hospitality guidelines are followed and safety measures put in place, including sanitation stations, this will lower this.
Review the guidance on gatherings and Receptions. If these are socially distanced and risk assessments are done accurately and ridgedly allow these to take place especially venues which have outdoor facilities.
